What is NexTemp Ultra?

NexTemp Ultra is our single-use, disposable thermometer that is individually-wrapped and intended for single patient use. It is designed for clinically accurate readings and to prevent patients from exposure to infections. NexTemp Ultra thermometers circumvent infection risk by providing a clean instrument that is used with a single patient and then discarded.

How do I use NexTemp Ultra thermometers?

1. Open Package

Peel back top of wrapper to expose the handle of the thermometer and remove by pulling.

2. Insert Thermometer

3. Wait 60 Seconds

Have patient press tongue down on the thermometer while keeping mouth closed. Leave in mouth for a minimum of 1 minute – shorter times may give inaccurate readings.
